Luckily, he’s rich enough to try again. With the services of the mysterious, utopian Forever Foundation, he is reborn a century later with a new body, a new identity—Jake.

A lifetime before, Kate never expected love to live up to her fantasies. But there’s something about Harry’s ice-blue eyes that draw her in, even as she begins to see the darker shades of his true colours.

As six lives entwine in a web spun over decades, secrets are uncovered that invoke a timeless, troubling question: Are we defined by nature or nurture?
